Malone Rule

Can you imagine anything worse for
Richmond and the whole State OF Vir-
ginia than q renewal of MAHoNEs rule ?
Have you forgotten that he exacted a
pledge in 1879 from his candidates for
the Legislature binding them in effect to
10 his bidding, though pretending to
come to Richmond as lawmakers
Have you forgotten how he located his
den in the Wing building, convenient to
the Capitol, and there made his subser-
Went tools dance attendance upon him ?
Have you forgotten what sort OF men
he caused to be elected TO some of the
judgeships that he desired and intend
ed to legislate all the circuit judges
out of Office, aud fill their places with
his followers regardless of their qualiiica-
tons for a Judicial Office ? And don't
You know that he is worse and more
reckless man to-day than he was in 1879
or 1881 and is now prepared TO resort to
the most wicked schemes that could pos
sibly be devised in order to get his
clutches once more upon this honored
old Commonwealth
Do YOU desire to see the entire law
business Of the State thrown into confu-
sion, and the courts thrown into partisan
tribunals? Remember that MALONE
tried to have all the notaries public and
commissioners in chancery removed.
He also endeavorcd to get bill passed
intended to make sure of standing
campaign fund for himself by providing
for the appointment Of Mahoneltes
TO sell all the real estate to he sold
under the orders of the courts,
and for supporting his organs at
the expense of the same real-estate
owners These organs were to get D
cents line, we think ii was, for all the
advertisements appearing in their CO.
lumns by order of MAHoNE's judges.
Give him control OF the General Assem-
bly, and he will have laws passed pro-
viding sustenancc for his organs. The
public refuse to support these. There
fore he would, by an ingenious use OF
legislative power, provide living for
them at the expense of Democrats.
Do you desire TO see the charters OF
all the cities in Virginia 30 changed as
to turn over the control of them to Ma
HONE? Then elect q MALONE Legisla-
ture next Tuesday. In that event Ma
HONE will give you enough Of his rule.
When it is too late you will realize that
Won have brought ruin and boss-rule
upon all the towns and cities IN Virginia.
Do You desire to have Virginia re-
districted for the election OF members OF
the national House of Representatives
so as to put Hanover and Halifax into one
district ? This is what MALONE Legisla-
ture proposed to do. They drafted and
reported bill which so arranged the
Halifax congressional district as to make
it necessary to pass over portion OF that
district in leaving Richmond by the
Richmond and Allegheny, or by the
Chesapeake and Ohio, or by the York
River, or by the Richmond and Dan
vile. or by the Richmond and Peters
burg railroad Wasn't that gerryman-
dering with vengeance?
Do Won wish the southern States put
under military rule again? Then vote
the MALONE ticket. Elect him to the
United States Senate, and thus DO all
Won can to assist him in making JOIN
SHERMAN President of the United States.
JouS SHERMAN, who was in favor IN
1871 of the force bill which was based
upon a lie, and which proposed to en-
mower Republican President Of the
United States to suspend the writ OF
hd6cas corpus in any southern State IN
violation of the Federal Constitution.
MALONE is working for JOHN SHER-
MANS nomination and election to the
presidency, well knowing that SHERMAN
has declared himself in favor Of cutting
down the representation of the southern
States in Congress. He advocates the
measure upon the stump in Ohio.
In word if you arc utterly reckless
of your own interests, and willing to set
Virginia back fifty years, vote the Ma
HONE ticket next Tuesday.
